    I got this roadster with King Bees on it and most everyone said it needs full size headlights. What looks better??

    Smaller is way better. Has a nice, neat, tucked in look. Very cool!

    I like the BIG headlights BETTER ...

    IMHO ... they go better with the full fender, traditional look of the car. The original looking color, the cowl lights and the bumpers all look like it NEEDS the big headlights. But then I am biased ...

    :D

    One vote here for the larger lights.

    It just looks more 'trad' for want of a better word. The smaller headlamps just look too small in my opinion.

    Sort of like a 32A front with a 38 rear if you get my drift....

    I vote for the big ones. Looks alot more proportional, in my opinion.

    I like the smaller headlights on a roadster but on a female I prefer the bigger headlights but will enjoy all of them.

    By the way nice roadster. Steve

    Bigger one's look a little traditional and fit better with the overall theme of the car.
    Smaller ones look like something better put on a billet street rodder.
    Amazing what a difference in looks by just changing the headlights.

    If it was a A or T smaller but a 32 with bumpers and fenders and cowl lights BIG.

    I like the big one's on that car as well for the reasons DR mentioned..
    It really look's great both way's though, and i'd be more than happy to have that in my driveway even if it had flashlight's for headlights! :D
    Nice car!

    On a dark night coming down the road the originals would look way cooler IMO.

    I like the smaller. Then again, I would advise everyone to never listen to a thing I say !.

    The King Bee/Deitz style headlights are TRADITIONAL hot rod. so, with that said I'd go with the big ones.:)

    The small ones scream 70's to me, the bigger ones would be my choice for sure.

    I thought this was going to be a no-contest vote for the big lights but I guess I was wrong.
